NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
(unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

Since the Company's founding in 1986, a primary focus of its operations has been research and development. Achievement of successful research and development and commercialization of products derived from such efforts is subject to high levels of risk and significant resource commitments. The Company has a history of operating losses and expects to incur substantial additional expenses over at least the next few years as it continues to develop its proprietary products, devote significant resources to preclinical studies, clinical trials, and manufacturing and to defend its patents and other proprietary rights. The Company's revenues to date have consisted principally of research and development funding, licensing and signing fees and milestone payments from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies under collaborative research and development, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements. These revenues may vary considerably from quarter to quarter and from year to year, and revenues in any period may not be predictive of revenues in any subsequent period, and variations may be significant depending on the terms of the particular agreements.

In 1998, the Company began receiving royalties from sales of Zenapax[R]. Royalties on sales of Zenapax are payable under exclusive license agreements with Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and affiliates ("Roche"). The Company has also entered into non-exclusive licensing arrangements for other products recently approved for marketing. The Company is dependent upon the further development, regulatory and marketing efforts of its licensees and there can be no assurance that the development, regulatory and marketing efforts of its licensees will be successful, including, without limitation, if and when regulatory approvals in various countries may be obtained and whether or how quickly products might be adopted by the medical community. In addition, the Company recognizes royalty revenues when royalty reports are received from Roche and the Company's other licensees. This method of recognizing royalty revenues from the Company's licensees, taken together with the unpredictable timing of payments of non-recurring licensing and signing fees and milestones under new and existing collaborative research and development, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements, may result in significant fluctuations in revenues in quarterly and annual periods.

Although the Company anticipates entering into new collaborations from time to time, the Company presently does not anticipate continuing to realize non-royalty revenue from its new and proposed collaborations at levels commensurate with the revenue historically recognized under its older collaborations. Moreover, the Company anticipates that it will incur significant operating expenses as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical, clinical, marketing and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing arrangements, royalties on sales of products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights or other sources, the Company anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to increase significantly as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical activity, and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing agreements, significant royalties on sales of Zenapax and other products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights, or other sources, the Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in the foreseeable future as certain of its earlier stage potential products move into later stage clinical development, as additional potential products are selected as clinical candidates for further development, as the Company invests in additional facilities or manufacturing capacity, as the Company defends or prosecutes its patents and patent applications and as the Company invests in research or acquires additional technologies, product candidates or businesses.

Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Quarterly Financial Statements

The balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 and the statements of operations for the three month and nine periods and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997. Results for any quarterly period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other quarterly period or for the entire year.

Cash Equivalents, Investments and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The "Other" adjustments line item in the Statements of Cash Flows represents the accretion of the book value of certain debt securities. The Company places its cash and short-term and long- term investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions and in securities of the U.S. government and U.S. government agencies and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial instrument. To date, the Company has not experienced credit losses on investments in these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents for the period ended September 30, 1998 increased primarily as a result of maturities of short-term and redemption of certain long-term investments. The changes in short- and long-term investments were the result of certain long-term investments reaching maturities of one year or less.

Revenue Recognition

Contract revenues from research and development are recorded as earned based on the performance requirements of the contracts. Revenues from achievement of milestone events are recognized when the funding party agrees that the scientific, clinical or regulatory results stipulated in the agreement have been met. Revenue recognized under certain clinical supply agreements is based upon the percentage of completion method. Deferred revenue arises principally due to the timing of cash payments received under research and development contracts.

The Company's collaborative, humanization and patent licensing agreements with third parties provide for the payment of royalties to the Company based on net sales of licensed products under the agreements. Royalties, as reported to the Company, may include deductions for creditable amounts related to third party royalties as well as milestone payments, certain patent expense reimbursements and maintenance fees previously received by the Company. The agreements generally provide for royalty reports to the Company following completion of each calendar quarter or semi-annual period and royalty revenue is recognized when royalty reports are received from the third party.

New Accounting Standards

Effective as of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"). FAS 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components; however, the adoption of FAS 130 had no impact on the Company's net loss or stockholders' equity. FAS 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income
(loss). FAS 130 permits the disclosure of this information in notes to interim financial statements and the Company has elected this approach. For the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $0.9 million and ($0.6) million, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive loss amounted to $4.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128"). FAS 128 requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share for all periods presented. In accordance with FAS 128, basic earnings (loss) per share have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented and excluded the dilutive effect of stock options. If the Company had a net loss position for the applicable period, as is the case for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, FAS 128 specifies that the Company shall not include the effect of stock options outstanding for the applicable period as the effect would be antidilutive.

Following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for the periods presented below:

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, the Company has a policy of recording expenses for clinical trials based upon pro rating estimated total costs of a clinical trial over the estimated length of the clinical trial and the number of patients anticipated to be enrolled in the trial. Expenses related to each patient are recognized ratably beginning upon entry into the trial and over the course of the trial. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, management accrues an amount based on its estimate of the remaining non-cancellable obligations associated with the winding down of the clinical trial. These estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the amounts which may actually be realized.

In 1997, Boehringer Mannheim GmbH ("Boehringer Mannheim") invoked the dispute resolution provisions under its collaborative research agreement to address the reimbursement of up to $2.0 million for the Phase II study of OST 577 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B ("CHB") then being conducted by Boehringer Mannheim as well as certain legal expenses related to Boehringer Mannheim's participation in the Company's public offering in the first quarter of 1997. In March 1998, Roche acquired Corange Limited, the parent company of Boehringer Mannheim. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding but in any event has estimated and recorded a liability with respect to this matter. The collaborative research agreement with Boehringer Mannheim provides for reimbursement from PDL of costs and expenses of up to $2.0 million for a Phase II study of OST 577 in the event certain conditions were met with respect to that study.

In June 1997, the Company entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with Stanford University to provide aggregate funding and equipment support of up to $3.4 million over a period of 3 years for the laboratory of Stanley Falkow, Ph.D., Distinguished Investigator (consultant) of the Company. Dr. Falkow resigned as a member of the Board of Directors in September 1998 in connection with his assuming a more extensive role with the Company in certain ongoing research programs. The funding arrangement provides the Company with certain exclusive rights to intellectual property resulting from the research efforts in Dr. Falkow's laboratory during the funding period. The Company expensed approximately $0.5 and $0.2 million in connection with this funding arrangement for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets increased for the period ended September 30, 1998 primarily as a result of an accounts receivable of $6.0 million for a nonrefundable licensing and signing fee received in October 1998.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment increased for the period ended September 30, 1998 primarily as a result of capital expenditures related to the Company's new Fremont, California facilities.

Other Accrued Liabilities

Other accrued liabilities increased for the period ended September 30, 1998 primarily as a result of accruals of approximately $1.0 million each for (i) a signing and licensing fee paid in October 1998, and (ii) capital expenditures related to the Company's new Fremont, California facilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to those discussed in "Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this document and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.

OVERVIEW

Since the Company's founding in 1986, a primary focus of its operations has been research and development. Achievement of successful research and development and commercialization of products derived from such efforts is subject to high levels of risk and significant resource commitments. The Company has a history of operating losses and expects to incur substantial additional expenses over at least the next few years as it continues to develop its proprietary products, devote significant resources to preclinical studies, clinical trials, and manufacturing and to defend its patents and other proprietary rights. The Company's revenues to date have consisted principally of research and development funding, licensing and signing fees and milestone payments from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies under collaborative research and development, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements. These revenues may vary considerably from quarter to quarter and from year to year, and revenues in any period may not be predictive of revenues in any subsequent period, and variations may be significant depending on the terms of the particular agreements.

In 1998, the Company began receiving royalties from sales of Zenapax. Royalties on sales of Zenapax are payable under exclusive license agreements with Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and affiliates ("Roche"). The Company has also entered into non-exclusive licensing arrangements for other products recently approved for marketing. The Company is dependent upon the further development, regulatory and marketing efforts of its licensees and there can be no assurance that the development, regulatory and marketing efforts of its licensees will be successful, including, without limitation, if and when regulatory approvals in various countries may be obtained and whether or how quickly products might be adopted by the medical community. In addition, the Company recognizes royalty revenues when royalty reports are received from Roche and the Company's other licensees. This method of recognizing royalty revenues from the Company's licensees, taken together with the unpredictable timing of payments of non-recurring licensing and signing fees and milestones under new and existing collaborative research and development, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements, may result in significant fluctuations in revenues in quarterly and annual periods.

Although the Company anticipates entering into new collaborations from time to time, the Company presently does not anticipate continuing to realize non-royalty revenue from its new and proposed collaborations at levels commensurate with the revenue historically recognized under its older collaborations. Moreover, the Company anticipates that it will incur significant operating expenses as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical, clinical, marketing and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing arrangements, royalties on sales of products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights or other sources, the Company anticipates that its operating expenses will generally continue to increase significantly as the Company expands its business activities and advances potential products in clinical development, dedicates more resources to its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical activity, and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations, humanization and patent licensing agreements, significant royalties on sales of Zenapax and other products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights, or other sources, the Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in the foreseeable future as certain of its earlier stage potential products move into later stage clinical development, as additional potential products are selected as clinical candidates for further development, as the Company invests in additional facilities or manufacturing capacity, as the Company defends or prosecutes its patents and patent applications and as the Company invests in research or acquires additional technologies, product candidates or businesses.

Contract revenues from research and development are recorded as earned based on the performance requirements of the contracts. Revenues from achievement of milestone events are recognized when the funding party agrees that the scientific, clinical or regulatory results stipulated in the agreement have been met. Revenue recognized under certain clinical supply agreements are based on the percentage of completion method. Deferred revenue arises principally due to timing of cash payments received under research and development contracts.

The Company's collaborative, humanization and patent licensing agreements with third parties provide for the payment of royalties to the Company based on net sales of the licensed product under the agreement. Royalties, as reported to the Company, may include deductions for creditable amounts related to third party royalties as well as milestone payments, certain patent expense reimbursements and maintenance fees previously received by the Company. The agreements generally provide for royalty reports to the Company following completion of each calendar quarter or semi-annual period and royalty revenue is recognized when royalty reports are received from the third party.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

The Company's total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $11.9 million as compared to $7.0 million in 1997. Total revenues recognized under agreements with third parties were $9.6 million in the third quarter of 1998 compared to $4.6 million in the comparable period in 1997. Interest and other income amounted to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 1998 compared to $2.5 million in the comparable period in 1997.

Revenues under agreements with third parties of $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 consisted principally of a $6.0 million nonrefundable licensing and signing fee from Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech"), milestone payments earned under licensing agreements, manufacturing services revenues under clinical supply agreements, research and development reimbursement funding and royalties. In the third quarter of 1997, revenues under agreements with third parties consisted principally of $4.6 million of licensing and signing fees and milestone payments earned under licensing agreements.

Total costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $11.2 million from $7.9 million in the comparable period in 1997. The increase in costs was primarily due to the accrual of a licensing and signing fee payable to Genentech, the addition of staff in the Company's pharmaceutical research and development programs, administrative functions and associated expenses desirable to manage and support the Company's expanding operations.

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 increased to $8.9 million from $6.3 million in the comparable period in 1997. The increase in costs was primarily due to the accrual of a licensing and signing fee payable to Genentech, the addition of staff, the continuation of clinical trials, costs of conducting preclinical tests and expansion of research and pharmaceutical development capabilities, including support for both clinical development and manufacturing process development.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $2.2 million from $1.6 million in the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily the result of increased staffing and associated expenses desirable to manage and support the Company's expanding operations.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

The Company's total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $24.5 million as compared to $15.9 million in 1997. Total revenues recognized under agreements with third parties were $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $9.3 million in the comparable period in 1997. This increase in total revenues is primarily the result of increased licensing and signing fees during the period. Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $7.2 million compared to $6.6 million in the comparable period in 1997. This increase in interest and other income is primarily attributable to the increased interest earned on the Company's higher cash and cash equivalents balances as a result of the Company's follow-on public offering which was completed during the first quarter of 1997.

Revenues under agreements with third parties of $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 consisted principally of a $6.0 million nonrefundable licensing and signing fee from Genentech, licensing and signing fees from other third parties, milestone payments earned under licensing agreements, manufacturing services revenues under clinical supply agreements, research and development reimbursement funding and royalties. In the comparable period of 1997, revenues under agreements with third parties consisted principally of $9.3 million of licensing and signing fees and milestone payments earned under licensing agreements.

Total costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $28.7 million from $23.8 million in the comparable period in 1997. The increase in costs was primarily due to the addition of staff in the Company's pharmaceutical research and development programs, administrative functions and associated expenses desirable to manage and support the Company's expanding operations.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $22.7 million from $19.1 million in the comparable period in 1997. The increase in costs was primarily due to the addition of staff, the continuation of clinical trials and expansion of research and pharmaceutical development capabilities, including support for both clinical development and manufacturing process development.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $6.0 million from $4.7 million in the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily the result of increased staffing and associated expenses desirable to manage and support the Company's expanding operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through public and private placements of equity securities, research and development revenues and interest income on invested capital. At September 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments in the aggregate of $145.8 million, compared to $163.7 million at December 31, 1997. This decrease was due to the year to date net loss and capital expenditures for the Company's new facility. Cash and cash equivalents and investments for the period do not include the $6.0 million licensing and signing fee received from Genentech in October 1998.

In 1997, Boehringer Mannheim GmbH ("Boehringer Mannheim") invoked the dispute resolution provisions under its collaborative research agreement with the Company to address the reimbursement of up to $2.0 million for the Phase II study of OST 577 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B ("CHB") then being conducted by Boehringer Mannheim as well as certain legal expenses related to Boehringer Mannheim's participation in the Company's public offering in the first quarter of 1997. In March 1998, Roche acquired Corange Limited, the parent company of Boehringer Mannheim. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding but in any event has estimated and recorded a liability with respect to this matter. The collaborative research agreement with Boehringer Mannheim provides for reimbursement from PDL of costs and expenses of up to $2.0 million for a Phase II study of OST 577 in the event certain conditions were met with respect to that study.

As set forth in the Statements of Cash Flows, net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $7.7 million in the same period in 1997. The decrease in 1998 was primarily due to a lower net loss for the period, an increase in accounts receivable primarily due to the Genentech licensing and signing fee, which is included in other current assets, and the Company receiving research and development reimbursement funding in advance of the related work to be performed by the Company.

As set forth in the Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $37.8 million, resulting primarily from maturities of short-term investments. Net cash used in investing activities for the comparable period in 1997 was $40.8 million reflecting the purchase of short- and long-term investments.

The Company has a twelve year lease of approximately 90,000 square feet for its new headquarters and research and development facilities in Fremont, California. The Company has invested approximately $13 million in order to make the facilities suitable for its operations, including tenant improvements and equipment. As set forth in the Statements of Cash Flows, capital expenditures increased to $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $2.6 million in the comparable period in 1997, primarily from its investment in these facilities.

As set forth in the Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $3.3 million resulting primarily from the exercise of outstanding stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities for the comparable period in 1997 was $71.3 million. The 1997 amount resulted primarily from the completion of a public offering of 2.275 million shares of the Company's common stock in the first quarter of 1997.

The Company's future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, among others, royalties from sales of products of third party licensees, including Zenapax, Synagis[R] and Herceptin[R]; the ability of the Company to enter into additional collaborative, humanization and patent licensing arrangements; the progress of the Company's product candidates in clinical trials; the ability of the Company's licensees to obtain regulatory approval and successfully manufacture and market products licensed under the Company's patents; the continued or additional support by collaborative partners or other third parties of research and development efforts and clinical trials; enhancement of existing and investment in new research and development programs; the time required to gain regulatory approvals; the resources the Company devotes to self-funded products, manufacturing facilities and methods and advanced technologies; the ability of the Company to obtain and retain funding from third parties under collaborative agreements; the continued development of internal marketing and sales capabilities; the demand for the Company's potential products, if and when approved; potential acquisitions of technology, product candidates or businesses by the Company; and the costs of defending or prosecuting any patent opposition or litigation necessary to protect the Company's proprietary technology. In order to develop and commercialize its potential products the Company may need to raise substantial additional funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements, the use of sponsored research efforts or other means. No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and such financing may only be available on terms dilutive to existing stockholders. The Company believes that existing capital resources will be adequate to satisfy its capital needs through at least 2001.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

As is true for most companies, the ability of the Company's systems and equipment as well as those of its key suppliers to address the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue presents a potential risk for the Company. If systems software and/or equipment containing embedded software or controllers do not correctly recognize date information when the year changes to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's operations. The risk for the Company exists in two areas: systems used by the Company to run its business and systems used by the Company's suppliers. The Company is currently evaluating its exposure in these two areas. The Company has also reviewed, but views as a much less significant risk, claims related to potential warranty or other claims from its collaborative research customers.

Based on a preliminary assessment by an outside consultant retained by the Company in early 1998, the Company believes that its most important information systems are Y2K-compliant; however, the Company is in the process of conducting a comprehensive inventory and evaluation of its systems, equipment and facilities. In connection with its recent move to a new headquarters facility in Fremont, California, the Company has replaced or upgraded many of its systems and equipment that were known or believed to present potential Y2K problems. In addition, the Company specifically identified and contacted certain key vendors regarding Y2K compliance of its key information systems and has either received software upgrades or assurances that Y2K-compliant software will be made available in a manner designed for the Company to timely address the Y2K issue with respect to these systems. As part of its comprehensive review of potentially affected systems, equipment and facilities, the Company is also reviewing controllers used to perform key functions in its manufacturing facility in Plymouth, Minnesota. At this time, the Company has not reviewed all systems and processes for potential Y2K problems nor has the Company identified alternative remediation plans if upgrade or replacement is not feasible. The Company will consider the need for such remediation or replacement plans as it continues to assess the Y2K risk. For Y2K non-compliance issues identified to date, the cost of upgrade or remediation has not been and is not expected to be material to the Company's operating results. The Company expects to conclude its initial estimates of total anticipated costs to become Y2K-compliant by the end of the calendar year. If implementation of replacement systems is delayed, or if significant new non-compliance issues are identified, the Company's results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The Company has identified critical suppliers and has plans to initiate inquiries in order to determine whether the operations and the products or services provided by these identified vendors are Y2K- compliant. Where practicable, the Company will attempt to mitigate its risks with respect to the failure of vendors to be Y2K-compliant. In the event that vendors are not compliant, the Company will seek alternative sources of supplies or services. However, many of the Company's vendors have been qualified for regulatory purposes and qualifying new vendors could involve significant time and resource commitments by the Company. Failure of vendors to be Y2K-compliant remains a possibility and could limit the ability of the Company to manufacture material for clinical studies or timely conduct regulatory compliance programs that would result in a delay in the initiation or continuation of certain planned clinical studies. Significant delays or expenditures due to vendors' failures to become Y2K-compliant could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

With respect to research conducted by the Company in support of its collaborative research customers, many of the systems used to support such efforts are new. Where appropriate, the Company has, as a condition to accepting such systems, required that the systems be Y2K- compliant.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION - RISK FACTORS

This Quarterly Report contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include those discussed in the material set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this document and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1997.

History Of Losses; Future Profitability Uncertain. The Company has a history of operating losses and expects to incur substantial additional expenses with resulting quarterly losses over at least the next several years as it continues to develop its potential products, to invest in new research areas and to devote significant resources to preclinical studies, clinical trials and manufacturing. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $63.6 million. The time and resource commitment required to achieve market success for any individual product is extensive and uncertain. No assurance can be given that the Company, its collaborative partners or licensees will successfully develop products, obtain required regulatory approvals, manufacture products at an acceptable cost and with appropriate quality, or successfully market such products.

The Company's revenues to date have consisted principally of research and development funding, licensing and signing fees and milestone payments from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies under collaborative research and development, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements. These revenues may vary considerably from quarter to quarter and from year to year, and revenues in any period may not be predictive of revenues in any subsequent period, and variations may be significant depending on the terms of the particular agreements.

Although the Company anticipates entering into new collaborations from time to time, the Company presently does not anticipate continuing to realize non-royalty revenue from its new and proposed collaborations at levels commensurate with the revenue historically recognized under its older collaborations. Moreover, the Company anticipates that it will incur significant operating expenses as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical, clinical, marketing and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing arrangements, royalties on sales of products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights or other sources, the Company anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to increase significantly as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical activity, and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing agreements, significant royalties on sales of Zenapax[R] and other products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights, or other sources, the Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in the foreseeable future as certain of its earlier stage potential products move into later stage clinical development, as additional potential products are selected as clinical candidates for further development, as the Company invests in additional facilities or manufacturing capacity, as the Company defends or prosecutes its patents and patent applications and as the Company invests in research or acquires additional technologies, product candidates or businesses. For example, revenues in the third quarter of 1998 included a $6.0 million non-refundable licensing and signing fee from Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") that resulted in a profit in that quarter. In the absence of similar substantial non-recurring revenues or significant royalty revenues in any future period, there can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable in any future quarters.

Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and its affiliates ("Roche") have received regulatory approval to distribute Zenapax in the U.S. and certain other countries. Zenapax, a product created by the Company, is licensed exclusively to Roche. The Company has also entered into nonexclusive patent license agreements covering Synagis[R], a product developed by MedImmune, Inc., and Herceptin[R], a product developed by Genentech. The Company recognizes royalty revenues when royalty reports are received from its collaborative partners, including Roche. With respect to royalties based on revenue from sales of Zenapax by Roche, royalties based on U.S. sales are reported to the Company on a quarterly basis and royalties based on sales outside of the U.S. are reported on a semi- annual basis. With respect to royalties on sales of Synagis and Herceptin, royalty reports are due in the quarter following the quarter in which sales occur or are reported by sublicensees, as the case may be. Each of these licensees has certain rights to partially offset certain payments previously made to the Company or paid to third parties. For example, Roche has a right to offset certain third party royalties, patent reimbursement expenses and previously paid milestones against royalties payable to the Company with respect to Zenapax. The Company records revenue when reports are received from its licensees. This method of accounting for royalty revenues from the Company's licensees, taken together with the unpredictable timing of payments of non-recurring licensing and signing fees, payments for manufacturing services and milestones under new and existing collaborative, humanization, patent licensing and clinical supply agreements, is likely to result in significant quarterly fluctuations in revenues in quarterly and annual periods. Thus, revenues in any period may not be predictive of revenues in any subsequent period, and variations may be significant depending on the terms of the particular agreements.

The Company anticipates that it will incur significant operating expenses as the Company increases its research and development, manufacturing, preclinical, clinical, marketing and administrative and patent activities. Accordingly, in the absence of substantial revenues from new corporate collaborations or patent licensing arrangements, royalties on sales of Zenapax or other products licensed under the Company's intellectual property rights or other sources, the Company expects to incur substantial operating losses in the foreseeable future as certain of its earlier stage potential products move into later stage clinical development, as additional potential products are selected as clinical candidates for further development, as the Company invests in new headquarters and additional laboratory and manufacturing facilities or capacity, as the Company defends or prosecutes its patents and patent applications, and as the Company invests in continuing and new research programs or acquires additional technologies, product candidates or businesses. For example, the Company has invested approximately $13 million in order to make its new headquarters facilities located in Fremont, California suitable for its operations, including investment in tenant improvements and capital equipment. The amount of net losses and the time required to reach sustained profitability are highly uncertain. To achieve sustained profitable operations, the Company, alone or with its collaborative partners, must successfully discover, develop, manufacture, obtain regulatory approvals for and market potential products. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability, and results are expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Dependence On Licensees With Respect to Marketed Products. The Company is dependent upon the development and marketing efforts of its licensees with respect to products for which the Company may receive royalties. For example, in 1998, the Company began receiving royalties from sales of Zenapax, a product exclusively licensed to Roche. The Company's royalties on Zenapax depend upon the development efforts of Roche and there can be no assurance that Roche's development, regulatory and marketing efforts will be successful, including without limitation, whether or how quickly Zenapax might receive regulatory approvals in various countries throughout the world and how rapidly it might be adopted by the medical community. Moreover, Simulect[R], a product competitive with Zenapax, has been approved for marketing in the U.S. and other countries and there can be no assurance that Roche will successfully market and sell Zenapax against this and other available competitive products. In addition, there can be no assurance that other independently developed products of Roche, including CellCept[R], or others will not compete with or prevent Zenapax from achieving meaningful sales. Roche's development and marketing efforts for CellCept may result in delays or a relatively smaller resource commitment to product launch and support efforts than might otherwise be obtained for Zenapax if this potentially competitive product were not under development or being marketed. In addition, Zenapax is being tested in certain early stage clinical trials in autoimmune indications. There can be no assurance that Roche will continue or pursue additional clinical trials in these indications or that, even if the additional clinical trials are completed, Zenapax will be shown to be safe and efficacious, or that the clinical trials will result in approval to market Zenapax in these indications. Any adverse event or announcement related to Zenapax would have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

The Company has also entered into non-exclusive patent licensing arrangements for certain products recently approved for marketing, specifically Synagis[R] and Herceptin[R]. The Company is dependent upon the further development, regulatory and marketing efforts of its licensees with respect to these products and there can be no assurance that the development, regulatory and marketing efforts of these licensees will be successful, including, without limitation, if and when regulatory approvals in various countries may be obtained and whether or how quickly products might be adopted by the medical community.

Uncertainty Of Clinical Trial Results. Before obtaining regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any of its potential products, the Company must demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials that the product is safe and efficacious for use in the clinical indication for which approval is sought. There can be no assurance that the Company will be permitted to undertake or continue clinical trials for any of its potential products or, if permitted, that such products will be demonstrated to be safe and efficacious. Moreover, the results from preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials may not be predictive of results that will be obtained in late-stage clinical trials. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company's present or future clinical trials will demonstrate the safety and efficacy of any potential products or will result in approval to market products.

In advanced clinical development, numerous factors may be involved that may lead to different results in larger, late-stage clinical trials from those obtained in early-stage trials. For example, early-stage clinical trials usually involve a small number of patients, often at a single center, and thus may not accurately predict the actual results regarding safety and efficacy that may be demonstrated with a large number of patients in a late-stage multi-center clinical trial. Also, differences in the clinical trial design between early-stage and late- stage clinical trials may cause different results regarding the safety and efficacy of a product to be obtained. In addition, many early-stage trials are unblinded and based on qualitative evaluations by clinicians involved in the performance of the trial, whereas late-stage trials are generally required to be blinded in order to provide more objective data for assessing the safety and efficacy of the product. Moreover, preliminary results from clinical trials may not be representative of results that may be obtained as the trial proceeds to completion.

The Company may at times elect to aggressively enter potential products into Phase I/II trials to determine preliminary efficacy in specific indications. In addition, in certain cases the Company has commenced clinical trials without conducting preclinical animal testing where an appropriate animal model does not exist. Similarly, the Company or its partners at times will conduct potentially pivotal Phase II/III or Phase III trials based on limited Phase I or Phase I/II data. As a result of these and other factors, the Company anticipates that only some of its potential products will show safety and efficacy in clinical trials and that the number of products that fail to show safety and efficacy may be significant.

Limited Experience With Clinical Trials; Risk Of Delay. The Company has conducted only a limited number of clinical trials to date. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully commence and complete all of its planned clinical trials without significant additional resources and expertise. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its contemplated development schedule for any of its potential products. The inability of the Company or its collaborative partners to commence or continue clinical trials as currently planned, to complete the clinical trials on a timely basis or to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of its potential products, would have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

The rate of completion of the Company's or its collaborators' clinical trials is significantly dependent upon, among other factors, the rate of patient enrollment. Patient enrollment is a function of many factors, including, among others, the size of the patient population, perceived risks and benefits of the drug under study, availability of competing therapies, access to reimbursement from insurance companies or government sources, design of the protocol, proximity of and access by patients to clinical sites, patient referral practices, eligibility criteria for the study in question and efforts of the sponsor of and clinical sites involved in the trial to facilitate timely enrollment in the trial. Delays in the planned rate of patient enrollment may result in increased costs and expenses in completion of the trial or may require the Company to undertake additional studies in order to obtain regulatory approval if the applicable standard of care changes in the therapeutic indication under study. These considerations may lead the Company to consider the termination of ongoing clinical trials or halting further development of a product for a particular indication.

Uncertainty Of Patents And Proprietary Technology; Opposition Proceedings. The Company's success is significantly dependent on its ability to obtain patent protection for its products and technologies and to preserve its trade secrets and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. The Company files and prosecutes patent applications to protect its inventions. No assurance can be given that the Company's pending patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or that any patents will provide competitive advantages or will not be invalidated or circumvented by its competitors. Moreover, no assurance can be given that patents are not issued to, or patent applications have not been filed by, other companies which would have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to use, manufacture or market its products or maintain its competitive position with respect to its products. Other companies obtaining patents claiming products or processes useful to the Company may bring infringement actions against the Company. As a result, the Company may be required to obtain licenses from others or not be able to use, manufacture or market its products. Such licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Patents in the U.S. are issued to the party that is first to invent the claimed invention. Since patent applications in the U.S. are maintained in secrecy until patents issue, the Company cannot be certain that it was the first inventor of the inventions covered by its pending patent applications or that it was the first to file patent applications for such inventions. The patent positions of biotechnology firms generally are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. No consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of claims in biotechnology patents, and patents of biotechnology products are uncertain so that even issued patents may later be modified or revoked by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") or the courts in proceedings instituted by third parties. Moreover, the issuance of a patent in one country does not assure the issuance of a patent with similar claims in another country and claim interpretation and infringement laws vary among countries, so the extent of any patent protection may vary in different territories.

The Company has several patents and exclusive licenses covering its humanized and human antibody technology, respectively. With respect to its human antibody technology and antibodies, the Company has exclusively licensed certain patents from Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("Novartis") (formerly known as Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Corporation). With respect to its SMART[TM] antibody technology and antibodies, the Company has been issued fundamental patents by the European Patent Office ("EPO") and PTO. In addition, in June 1996 the Company was issued a U.S. patent covering Zenapax and certain related antibodies against the IL-2 receptor.

The Company is also currently prosecuting other patent applications with the PTO and in other countries, including members of the European Patent Convention, Canada, Japan and Australia. The patent applications are directed to various aspects of the Company's SMART and human antibodies, antibody technology and other programs, and include claims relating to compositions of matter, methods of preparation and use of a number of the Company's compounds. However, the Company does not know whether any of these pending applications will result in the issuance of patents or whether such patents will provide protection of commercial significance. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's patents will prevent others from developing competitive products using related or other technology.

With respect to its issued antibody humanization patents, the Company believes the patent claims cover Zenapax, Herceptin and Synagis and, based on its review of the scientific literature, most humanized antibodies. The EPO (but not PTO) procedures provide that other parties may submit arguments as to why the patent was incorrectly granted and should be withdrawn or limited. Eighteen notices of opposition and opposition briefs to the Company's European patent were filed, including filings by major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, which cited references and made arguments not considered by the EPO and PTO before grant of the respective patents. The entire opposition process, including appeals, may take several years to complete, and during this lengthy process, the validity of the EPO patent will be at issue, which may limit the Company's ability to negotiate or collect royalties or to negotiate future collaborative research and development agreements based on this patent. The Company intends to vigorously defend the European patent and, if necessary, the U.S. patent; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the opposition proceedings or any litigation contesting the validity or scope of these patents. If the outcome of the European opposition proceeding or any litigation involving the Company's antibody humanization patents were to be unfavorable, the Company's ability to collect royalties on licensed products and to license its patents relating to humanized antibodies may be materially adversely affected, which could have a material adverse affect on the business and financial conditions of the Company. In addition, such proceedings or litigation, or any other proceedings or litigation to protect the Company's intellectual property rights or defend against infringement claims by others, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's time and attention, which could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

A number of companies, universities and research institutions have filed patent applications or received patents in the areas of antibodies and other fields relating to the Company's programs. Some of these applications or patents may be competitive with the Company's applications or contain claims that conflict with those made under the Company's patent applications or patents. Such conflict could prevent issuance of patents to the Company, provoke an interference with the Company's patents or result in a significant reduction in the scope or invalidation of the Company's patents, if issued. An interference is an administrative proceeding conducted by the PTO to determine the priority of invention and other matters relating to the decision to grant patents. Moreover, if patents are held by or issued to other parties that contain claims relating to the Company's products or processes, and such claims are ultimately determined to be valid, no assurance can be given that the Company would be able to obtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost, if at all, or to develop or obtain alternative technology.

The Company is aware that Celltech Limited ("Celltech") has been granted a patent by the EPO covering certain humanized antibodies, which PDL has opposed, and that Celltech has a pending application for a corresponding U.S. patent (the "U.S. Adair Patent Application"). Because U.S. patent applications are maintained in secrecy, the U.S. Adair Patent Application remains confidential. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that claims in such a patent or application would not cover any of the Company's SMART antibodies or be competitive with or conflict with claims in the Company's patents or patent applications. If the U.S. Adair Patent Application issues and if it is determined to be valid and to cover any of the Company's SMART antibodies, there can be no assurance that PDL would be able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the claims of the U.S. Adair Patent Application conflict with claims in the Company's patents or patent applications, there can be no assurance that an interference would not be declared by the PTO, which could take several years to resolve and could involve significant expense to the Company. Also, such conflict could prevent issuance of additional patents to PDL relating to humanization of antibodies or result in a significant reduction in the scope or invalidation of the Company's patents, if issued. Moreover, uncertainty as to the validity or scope of patents issued to the Company relating generally to humanization of antibodies may limit the Company's ability to negotiate or collect royalties or to negotiate future collaborative research and development agreements based on these patents.

The Company is aware that Lonza Biologics, Inc. has a patent issued in Europe to which the Company does not have a license (although Roche has advised the Company that it has a license covering Zenapax), which may cover the process the Company uses to produce its potential products. If it were determined that the Company's processes were covered by such patent, the Company might be required to obtain a license under such patent or to significantly alter its processes or products, if necessary to manufacture or import its products in Europe. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to successfully alter its processes or products to avoid infringing such patent or to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company. Moreover, any alteration of processes or products to avoid infringing the patent could result in a significant delay in achieving regulatory approval with respect to the products affected by such alterations.

The Company is also aware that Stanford University has a patent issued in the U.S. to which the Company does not have a license, which may cover the process the Company uses to produce its potential products. The Company has been advised that an exclusive license has been previously granted to a third party under this patent. If it were determined that the Company's processes were covered by such patent, the Company might be required to obtain a license under such patent or to significantly alter its processes or products, if necessary to manufacture or import its products in the U.S. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to successfully alter its processes or products to avoid infringing such patent or to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company. Moreover, any alteration of processes or products to avoid infringing the patent could result in a significant delay in achieving regulatory approval with respect to the products affected by such alterations.

In addition to seeking the protection of patents and licenses, the Company also relies upon trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation which it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, suppliers and licensees. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that the Company would have adequate remedies for any breach or that the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known, independently developed or patented by competitors.

Dependence On Collaborative Partners. The Company has collaborative agreements with several pharmaceutical or other companies to develop, manufacture and market certain potential products, which include Zenapax, the most advanced product of the Company. The Company granted its collaborative partners certain exclusive rights to commercialize the products covered by these collaborative agreements. In some cases, the Company is relying on its collaborative partners to conduct clinical trials, to compile and analyze the data received from such trials, to obtain regulatory approvals and, if approved, to manufacture and market these licensed products. As a result, the Company often has little or no control over the development and marketing of these potential products and little or no opportunity to review clinical data prior to or following public announcement.

The Company's collaborative research agreements are generally terminable by its partners on short notice. Suspension or termination of certain of the Company's current collaborative research agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and could significantly delay the development of the affected products. For example, Boehringer Mannheim GmbH ("Boehringer Mannheim") and the Company from time to time had differences with respect to the clinical development of certain products licensed by the Company to Boehringer Mannheim under a collaborative agreement. In December 1997, as a result of Boehringer Mannheim's internal review of products licensed from the Company, product rights to OST 577 were returned to the Company. In March 1998, Roche acquired Corange Limited ("Corange"), the parent company of Boehringer Mannheim. Roche's review of the products acquired from Boehringer Mannheim resulted in a decision to return the SMART Anti-L-Selectin Antibody and an antibody directed against an undisclosed cardiovascular target to the Company effective as of December 31, 1998. Although the Company is assessing its development alternatives with respect to these antibodies, the development of these compounds has been delayed significantly and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue or initiate further development efforts with any of these compounds. In addition, Roche acquired 1,682,877 shares of the Company's common stock held by Corange which are no longer subject to contractual limitations on disposition other than certain restrictions on transfers of significant blocks of stock. Further, Boehringer Mannheim has invoked the dispute resolution provisions under its collaborative research agreement to address the reimbursement of up to $2.0 million for the Phase II study of OST 577 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B ("CHB") conducted by Boehringer Mannheim. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding but in any event has estimated and recorded a liability with respect to this matter.

Continued funding and participation by collaborative partners will depend on the timely achievement of research and development objectives by the Company, the retention of key personnel performing work under those agreements and the successful achievement of research or clinical trial goals, none of which can be assured, as well as on each collaborative partner's own financial, competitive, marketing and strategic considerations. Such considerations include, among other things, the commitment of management of the collaborative partners to the continued development of the licensed products, the relationships among the individuals responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the collaborative efforts, the relative advantages of alternative products being marketed or developed by the collaborators or by others, including their relative patent and proprietary technology positions, and their ability to manufacture potential products successfully.

The Company's ability to enter into new collaborations and the willingness of the Company's existing collaborators to continue development of the Company's potential products depends upon, among other things, the Company's patent position with respect to such products. In this regard, the Company has been issued patents by PTO and EPO with claims that the Company believes, based on its survey of the scientific literature, cover most humanized antibodies. Eighteen notices of opposition and opposition briefs to the European patent have been filed with the EPO, and either or both patents may be further challenged through administrative or judicial proceedings. The Company has also been allowed patents with similar claims in other countries and has applied for similar patents in certain other countries. The Company has entered into several collaborations related to both the humanization and patent licensing of certain antibodies whereby it granted licenses to its patent rights relating to such antibodies, and the Company anticipates entering into additional collaborations and patent licensing agreements partially as a result of the Company's patent and patent applications with respect to humanized antibodies. As a result, the inability of the Company to successfully defend the opposition proceeding before the EPO or, if necessary, to defend patents granted by the PTO or EPO, or to successfully prosecute the corresponding patent applications in other countries could adversely affect the ability of the Company to collect royalties on existing licensed products, and enter into additional collaborations, humanization or patent licensing agreements and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

Absence Of Manufacturing Experience. Of the products developed by the Company which are currently in clinical development, Roche is responsible for manufacturing Zenapax and the Company is responsible for manufacturing OST 577 and the SMART M195 and SMART Anti-CD3 Antibodies as well as its other products in preclinical development. The Company currently leases approximately 47,000 square feet housing its manufacturing facilities in Plymouth, Minnesota. The Company intends to continue to manufacture potential products for use in preclinical and clinical trials using this manufacturing facility in accordance with standard procedures that comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") and appropriate regulatory standards. The manufacture of sufficient quantities of antibody products in accordance with such standards is an expensive, time-consuming and complex process and is subject to a number of risks that could result in delays. For example, the Company has experienced some difficulties in the past in manufacturing certain potential products on a consistent basis. Production interruptions, if they occur, could significantly delay clinical development of potential products, reduce third party or clinical researcher interest and support of proposed clinical trials, and possibly delay commercialization of such products and impair their competitive position, which would have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

The Company has no experience in manufacturing commercial quantities of its potential products and currently does not have sufficient capacity to manufacture all of its potential products on a commercial scale. In order to obtain regulatory approvals and to create capacity to produce its products for commercial sale at an acceptable cost, the Company will need to improve and expand its existing manufacturing capabilities, including demonstration to the FDA and corresponding foreign authorities of its ability to manufacture its products using controlled, reproducible processes. Accordingly, the Company is evaluating plans to improve and expand the capacity of its current manufacturing facility. Such plans, if fully implemented, would result in substantial costs to the Company and may require a suspension of manufacturing operations during construction. There can be no assurance that construction delays would not occur, and any such delays could impair the Company's ability to produce adequate supplies of its potential products for clinical use or commercial sale on a timely basis. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully improve and expand its manufacturing capability sufficiently to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and to produce adequate commercial supplies of its potential products on a timely basis. Failure to do so could delay commercialization of such products and impair their competitive position, which could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

Uncertainties Resulting From Manufacturing Changes. Manufacturing of antibodies for use as therapeutics in compliance with regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming and expensive. When certain changes are made in the manufacturing process, it is necessary to demonstrate to the FDA and corresponding foreign authorities that the changes have not caused the resulting drug material to differ significantly from the drug material previously produced, if results of prior preclinical studies and clinical trials performed using the previously produced drug material are to be relied upon in regulatory filings. Such changes could include, for example, changing the cell line used to produce the antibody, changing the fermentation or purification process or moving the production process to a new manufacturing plant. Depending upon the type and degree of differences between the newer and older drug material, various studies could be required to demonstrate that the newly produced drug material is sufficiently similar to the previously produced drug material, possibly requiring additional animal studies or human clinical trials. Manufacturing changes have been made or are likely to be made for the production of the Company's products currently in clinical development, in particular OST 577, and the SMART M195 and SMART Anti-CD3 antibodies. There can be no assurance that such changes will not result in delays in development or regulatory approvals or, if occurring after regulatory approval, in reduction or interruption of commercial sales. In addition, manufacturing changes to its manufacturing facility may require the Company to shut down production for a period of time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinitiate production in a timely manner, if at all, following such shutdown. Delays as a result of manufacturing changes or shutdown of the manufacturing facility could have an adverse effect on the competitive position of those products and could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

Dependence On Suppliers. The Company is dependent on outside vendors for the supply of raw materials used to produce its product candidates. The Company currently qualifies only one or a few vendors for its source of certain raw materials. Therefore, once a supplier's materials have been selected for use in the Company's manufacturing process, the supplier in effect becomes a sole or limited source of such raw materials to the Company due to the extensive regulatory compliance procedures governing changes in manufacturing processes. Although the Company believes it could qualify alternative suppliers, there can be no assurance that the Company would not experience a disruption in manufacturing if it experienced a disruption in supply from any of these sources. Any significant interruption in the supply of any of the raw materials currently obtained from such sources, or the time and expense necessary to transition a replacement supplier's product into the Company's manufacturing process, could disrupt the Company's operations and have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company. A problem or suspected problem with the quality of raw materials supplied could result in a suspension of clinical trials, notification of patients treated with products or product candidates produced using such materials, potential product liability claims, a recall of products or product candidates produced using such materials, and an interruption of supplies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

Competition; Rapid Technological Change. The Company's potential products are intended to address a wide variety of disease conditions, including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, cancers and viral infections. Competition with respect to these disease conditions is intense and is expected to increase. This competition involves, among other things, successful research and development efforts, obtaining appropriate regulatory approvals, establishing and defending intellectual property rights, successful product manufacturing, marketing, distribution, market and physician acceptance, patient compliance, price and potentially securing eligibility for reimbursement or payment for the use of the Company's product. The Company believes its most significant competitors may be fully integrated pharmaceutical companies with substantial expertise in research and development, manufacturing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals, marketing and securing eligibility for reimbursement or payment, and substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. Smaller companies also may prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations conduct research, seek patent protection, and establish collaborative arrangements for product development, clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions also compete with the Company in recruiting and retaining highly qualified personnel. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to rapid and substantial technological change. The Company's competitors may develop and introduce other technologies or approaches to accomplishing the intended purposes of the Company's products which may render the Company's technologies and products noncompetitive and obsolete.

In addition to currently marketed competitive drugs, the Company is aware of potential products in research or development by its competitors that address all of the diseases being targeted by the Company. These and other products may compete directly with the potential products being developed by the Company. In this regard, the Company is aware that potential competitors are developing antibodies or other compounds for treating autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, cancers and viral infections. In particular, a number of other companies have developed and will continue to develop human and humanized antibodies. In addition, protein design is being actively pursued at a number of academic and commercial organizations, and several companies have developed or may develop technologies that can compete with the Company's SMART and human antibody technologies. There can be no assurance that competitors will not succeed in more rapidly developing and marketing technologies and products that are more effective than the products being developed by the Company or that would render the Company's products or technology obsolete or noncompetitive. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company's collaborative partners will not independently develop products competitive with those licensed to such partners by the Company, thereby reducing the likelihood that the Company will receive revenues under its agreements with such partners.

Any potential product that the Company or its collaborative partners succeed in developing and obtaining regulatory approval for must then compete for market acceptance and market share. For certain of the Company's potential products, an important factor will be the timing of market introduction of competitive products. Accordingly, the relative speed with which the Company and its collaborative partners can develop products, complete the clinical testing and approval processes, and supply commercial quantities of the products to the market compared to competitive companies is expected to be an important determinant of market success. For example, Novartis has received approval to market Simulect[R], a product competitive with Zenapax, in the U.S. and Switzerland. Novartis has a significant marketing and sales force directed to the transplantation market and there can be no assurance that Roche will successfully market and sell Zenapax against this and other available products. With respect to the speed of development of OST 577, the Company is aware that other drugs such as lamivudine from Glaxo Wellcome plc have received or been submitted for approval in certain jurisdictions for the treatment of CHB. These competitive products are being developed by companies that have significantly greater experience and resources in developing antiviral products than the Company. The Company's current clinical plans for OST 577 involve a study of the combination of OST 577 and nucleoside analogs such as lamivudine. The success of lamivudine or other drugs for the treatment of CHB could have a material adverse impact on the clinical development and commercial potential of OST 577.

Other competitive factors include the capabilities of the Company's collaborative partners, product efficacy and safety, timing and scope of regulatory approval, product availability, marketing and sales capabilities, reimbursement coverage, the amount of clinical benefit of the Company's products relative to their cost, method of administration, price and patent protection. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not develop more efficacious or more affordable products, or achieve earlier product development completion, patent protection, regulatory approval or product commercialization than the Company. The occurrence of any of these events by the Company's competitors could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's success is dependent to a significant degree on its key management personnel. To be successful, the Company will have to retain its qualified clinical, manufacturing, scientific and management personnel. The Company faces competition for personnel from other companies, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, and its failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company.

Potential Volatility Of Stock Price. The market for the Company's securities is volatile and investment in these securities involves substantial risk. The market prices for securities of biotechnology companies (including the Company) have been highly volatile, and the stock market from time to time has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Factors such as disappointing sales of approved products, approval or introduction of competing products, results of clinical trials, delays in manufacturing or clinical trial plans, fluctuations in the Company's operating results, disputes or disagreements with collaborative partners, market reaction to announcements by other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, announcements of technological innovations or new commercial therapeutic products by the Company or its competitors, initiation, termination or modification of agreements with collaborative partners, failures or unexpected delays in manufacturing or in obtaining regulatory approvals or FDA advisory panel recommendations, developments or disputes as to patent or other proprietary rights, loss of key personnel, litigation, public concern as to the safety of drugs developed by the Company, regulatory developments in either the U.S. or foreign countries (such as opinions, recommendations or statements by the FDA or FDA advisory panels, health care reform measures or proposals), market acceptance of products developed and marketed by the Company's collaborators, sales of the Company's common stock held by collaborative partners or insiders and general market conditions could result in the Company's failure to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In such event, or in the event that adverse conditions prevail or are perceived to prevail with respect to the Company's business, the price of the Company's common stock would likely drop significantly. In the past, following significant drops in the price of a company's common stock, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such a company. Such litigation against the Company could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition.

GNE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This GNE License Agreement ("Agreement"), dated as of , is between Genentech, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a principal place of business at 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, California 94080 (hereinafter "GNE") and Protein Design Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a place of business at 34801 Campus Drive, Fremont, California 94555 (hereinafter "PDL").

WHEREAS:

A. GNE and PDL have entered into a Patent Licensing Master Agreement effective September __, 1998 (the "Master Agreement"), pursuant to which PDL may enter into this Agreement with respect to a license under either or both of the Chimera Patents or Coexpression Patents (as defined below), commonly referred to as the "Cabilly Patents," for PDL's antibody products and services.

B. The Master Agreement provides PDL with the right to obtain a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under the Cabilly Patents under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Article I

DEFINITIONS

All references to Exhibits, Articles and Sections shall mean the Exhibits to, and Articles and Sections of, this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

1.01. "Affiliate" means any corporation or other business entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with another entity, with "control" meaning direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of such corporation, or more than a fifty percent (50%) interest in the decision-making authority of such other unincorporated business entity; and a corporation in which the maximum amount of stock permitted by law to be held by another entity is beneficially owned by such other entity.

1.02. "Antibody" means any antibody directed against an Antigen and shall include, without limitation, monospecific and bispecific antibodies (but only with respect to the Antigen for a bispecific antibody); less than full- length antibody forms such as Fv, Fab, and F(ab')2; single-chain antibodies, and antibody conjugates bound to a toxin, label or other moiety, as well as any and all such constructs directed against the Antigen.

1.03. "Antigen" means the target molecule: _____________________.

1.04. "Bulk Product" means Licensed Product supplied in a form other than Finished Product which can be converted into Finished Product.

1.05. "Combination Product(s)" means any product containing both a pharmaceutically active agent or ingredient which constitutes a Licensed Product and one or more other pharmaceutically active agents or ingredients which do not constitute Licensed Products.

1.06. "Designee" means a Sublicensee or other person or entity designated by a Party to exercise the rights of and perform obligations hereunder in place of that Party in the Territory or a portion thereof.

1.07. "Effective Date" means the date of this Agreement as set forth above.

1.08. "Finished Product" means any and all Licensed Products in form for use by an end user and not intended for further chemical or genetic manipulation or transformation.

1.09. "Licensed Patents" means either or both of the following, as elected by PDL pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof and set forth on Exhibit A known generally as the Cabilly patents and patent applications:

(a) U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567 and the claims relating to chimeric antibodies found in patents or patent applications arising from divisionals, continuations or continuations-in-part of any application from which U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567 claims priority or any substitute applications therefor, any patent issued with respect to such patent application, any reissue, extension or patent term extension of any such patent, and any confirmation patent or registration patent or patent of addition based on any such patent as well as the foreign counterparts of the foregoing (but in any event excluding U.S.S.N. 07/205,419 and foreign counterparts thereof) ("Chimera Patents") and

(b) any patent issuing based on U.S.S.N. 07/205,419 (a continuation of the application maturing into U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567) relating to the coexpression of immunoglobulin chains in recombinant host cells, as well as the divisionals, continuations or continuations-in-part of such U.S.S.N. 07/205,419, the issued foreign counterparts of such U.S.S.N. 07/205,419 and any and all reissues, reexaminations or extensions or patent term extension of any such patent, and any confirmation patent or registration patent or patent of addition based on any such patent ("Coexpression Patents").

1.10. "Licensed Product(s)" means an Antibody with respect to which PDL has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim.

1.11. "Net Sales" means the gross invoice or contract price to third party customers for Finished Products. Finished Products used or consumed by PDL or its Affiliates or Designees as part of the delivery of services to customers shall be considered Net Sales at the gross invoice or contract price of like Finished Products which are sold to customers. If Licensed Product is sold in combination with one or more active ingredients, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the sales price of the Finished Product in the Combination Product when sold separately and B is the total sales price of all other active ingredients in the Combination Product when sold separately. If the Finished Product and the other active ingredients are not sold separately, the portion of the total cost of the Combination Product attributed to Finished Product shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the cost of the Finished Product and the denominator of which shall be the total cost of the Combination Product. The fraction shall be multiplied times the sales price of the Combination Product to arrive at Net Sales. For all Licensed Product used or consumed by others than PDL, PDL shall be entitled to deduct [ ] from Net Sales in lieu of all other deductions such as taxes, shipping charges, allowances and the like prior to calculating royalties due. If PDL or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees receive non-cash consideration for any Licensed Product sold or otherwise transferred to an independent third party not an Affiliate of the seller or transferor, the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of such transfer as known to PDL, or as reasonably estimated by PDL if unknown, shall be included in the definition of Net Sales. Net Sales shall not include Licensed Product provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.

Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.

The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by the Parties prior to the first sale or transfer of any such material by PDL to a non-affiliated third party.

1.12. "Party" means GNE or PDL and when used in the plural shall mean GNE and PDL.

1.13. "Sublicensee" means any person or entity granted a sublicense by PDL under this Agreement.

1.14. "Territory" means worldwide.

1.15. "Valid Claim" means any claim in any Licensed Patents which claim has neither expired or been disclaimed nor has been held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal has been or may be taken.

Article II

GRANT

2.01. License. With respect to each Licensed Product, PDL shall provide written notice to GNE of its election to have either or both of the Chimera Patents and/or Coexpression Patents designated as Licensed Patents hereunder, and the Licensed Patents elected by PDL shall be specified in Exhibit A. Subject to the fulfillment by PDL of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, GNE hereby grants to PDL and PDL hereby accepts a nonexclusive license, together with the right to sublicense, under Licensed Patents for the term thereof to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell and sell Licensed Products in the Territory. GNE shall be free at its discretion to enter into agreements with additional licensees at any time and on terms solely of its choosing.

2.02. Right to Appoint Designee. PDL shall have the right to sublicense all of its rights hereunder for all or part of the Territory (including on a country-by-country basis) to one or more Designees of its choosing, provided that PDL agrees that it will indemnify GNE for any failure of performance on the part of such Designee. An entity that simply acts to co-promote or to co-market a Licensed Product supplied by PDL shall not be considered a Designee and PDL may co-promote or co-market such Licensed Product with such entity in a given country or countries, provided that PDL shall be responsible for the payment of royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products by such entity and for all other acts of such entity as if such acts were those of the PDL. Promptly following the execution of any sublicense hereunder, PDL shall notify GNE of the identity of the Designee and the scope of the sublicense.

2.03. No Other License. PDL understands and agrees that no license under any patent or application other than Licensed Patents is or shall be deemed to have been granted under this Agreement, either expressly or by implication.

2.04 Updates to List of Licensed Patents. A list of all Chimera and Coexpression Patents is set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Exhibit B is a list of patents and patent applications that GNE in good faith believes represents the Chimera and Coexpression Patents as of the Effective Date. Upon written request of PDL (which request shall not be made more than once per calendar year), GNE agrees to provide a written update listing the Licensed Patents, and such update shall constitute an amendment to Exhibit B. GNE may, at its option, furnish such update to PDL from time to time during the term of this Agreement as part of an update to the Master Agreement. Article III

FEES AND ROYALTIES

3.01 License Exercise Fee. Within fifteen (15) business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, PDL shall pay to GNE a non-creditable, non-refundable license exercise fee of [One Million United States Dollars (US $1,000,000) for a license under the Chimera and Coexpression Patents][ ] for a license under the [Chimera] [Coexpression] Patents]. [Drafting note: Amount will depend on whether PDL takes a license under the Chimera Patents, the Coexpression Patents, or both.] Such amounts shall be increased annually beginning on January 1, 1999 and on each January 1 thereafter by an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index-U (or its successor) published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ("CPI-U") for the prior year.

3.02. Annual Maintenance Fees. In further consideration of the license granted in Article II, within fifteen (15) business days of the [ ] anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter, PDL shall pay to GNE a nonrefundable annual maintenance fee of [ ] under the license for the Chimera and Coexpression Patents] [ ] under the license for the
[Chimera] [Coexpression] Patents]. [Drafting note: Amount will depend on whether PDL takes a license under the Chimera Patents, the Coexpression Patents, or both.] The annual maintenance fees paid by PDL hereunder shall be fully creditable against royalties payable for the year with respect to which such annual maintenance fees are paid.

3.03. Earned Royalties. In further consideration of the rights and licenses granted under Article II, PDL shall pay to GNE a royalty of [ ] of Net Sales of Licensed Products sold by PDL, its Affiliates and its Sublicensees under the Licensed Patents in each country in the Territory until the later of the last date on which there is a Valid Claim that, but for the licenses granted to PDL under this Agreement, would be infringed by the making, using, importation, having made, offering for sale or sale of that Licensed Product in such country in the Territory or by the manufacture of Licensed Product in the country of manufacture. [Drafting Note: Include the following sentence if the licensed Antibody is a bispecific antibody: "If the Antigen is the target of one arm of a bispecific antibody, then both arms shall be considered one Licensed Product for purposes of calculating royalties with respect to such Licensed Product, and PDL shall pay a royalty of [ ] of Net Sales by PDL, its Affiliates and Designees."]

3.04. Sales To and Between Affiliates, Etc. No royalties shall be due upon sales of Licensed Products by and between PDL, its Affiliates, its Designees, co-promoting parties or co-marketing parties as permitted under
Section 2.02; provided, however, that the royalty hereunder shall be payable upon the final sale of such Licensed Product by any of the foregoing to a non- Affiliate.

3.05 Royalties to Third Parties. PDL acknowledges and agrees that other licenses may be required from third parties with respect to the development, manufacture, importation, use, and sale of any Licensed Product under this Agreement, and that PDL shall be responsible for any royalties and other payments with respect to those license rights. In no event shall PDL have a right to credit against, reduce or otherwise offset any royalty or payment obligations to such third parties against royalty amounts payable to GNE under the this Agreement.

Article IV

RECORDS, REPORTS AND PAYMENTS

4.01. Records Retention. PDL shall keep and shall cause its Sublicensees to keep records of the sales of all Licensed Products in sufficient detail to permit GNE to confirm the accuracy of PDL's royalty calculations for a period of at least three (3) years after each reporting period in which Net Sales occur. At GNE's request and expense not more than once per year, PDL shall permit an independent certified public accountant appointed by GNE and acceptable to PDL to examine, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, such records solely to the extent necessary to verify PDL's calculations. Such examination shall be limited to a period of time no more than three (3) years immediately preceding the request for examination. If PDL's royalties are found to be in error such that royalties to GNE were underpaid then PDL shall promptly pay any deficiency, plus interest at the prime rate, to GNE and if the deficiency is more than [ ] then PDL shall reimburse GNE for its costs in examining such records. Any overpayment by PDL will be promptly corrected by a refund.

4.02. Reports. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter following PDL's or its Designee's first commercial sale of a Licensed Product, PDL shall furnish to GNE a written report of all sales of Licensed Products subject to royalty under Section 3.03 during the calendar quarter most recently ended, provided that reports with respect to sales by Designees shall include only those sales for which royalty reports were received by PDL during such calendar quarter. Such report shall include (i) the determination of Net Sales as specified in Section 1.11; and (ii) the royalty payment then due by PDL to GNE. PDL agrees to notify GNE in writing within sixty (60) days after the date on which PDL, its Affiliates or Sublicensees obtain marketing approval of a Licensed Product in any country in the Territory. Such notice shall specify the country in which marketing approval was obtained and the date of such approval.

4.03 Payments. Concurrently with each report pursuant to Section 4.02, PDL shall make the royalty payment then due. Payments shall be in United States dollars and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be made by wire transfer to such bank as GNE may from time to time designate in writing, without set-off and free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, fees or charges except for withholding required by tax authorities for income or withholding taxes on royalties actually payable to GNE. PDL shall make any withholding payments due on behalf of GNE and shall promptly provide GNE with official tax receipts or other written documentation sufficient to enable GNE to satisfy the United States tax authorities with respect to GNE's application for a foreign tax credit for such payment. GNE agrees to reasonably cooperate with PDL in obtaining a refund of any withholding taxes or levies paid by PDL, if any, with respect to any payments to GNE hereunder. In the event that GNE is successful in obtaining any refund of tax withholding amounts paid by PDL under this Agreement, GNE agrees to promptly remit such refund amount to PDL. PDL shall be liable for interest on any overdue royalties at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less, commencing on the date such royalties are due until paid.

4.04. Currency Conversion. Royalties due on Net Sales of Licensed Products made in currency other than United States dollars shall first be calculated in the foreign currency and then converted to United States dollars using the average of the daily exchange rates for such currency quoted by Citibank, N.A. for each of the last five (5) banking days of each calendar quarter.

Article V

LIABILITY, REPRESENTATIONS

5.01. Indemnification. PDL shall defend, indemnify and hold GNE harmless against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense resulting from any third party claim, suit or other action arising out of or based on the manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Product by PDL, its Sublicensees or co-promoting or co-marketing entities pursuant to Section 2.02; provided, however, that GNE shall promptly notify PDL of such claim or action and PDL, at PDL's cost, shall have sole control over the defense, including any settlement of any claim or action, with full cooperation from GNE.

5.02. Representations of GNE. GNE represents and warrants to PDL that:

(b) PDL has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

Article VI

1.07 "Finished Product(s)" means any and all Licensed Products in form for use by an end user and not intended for further chemical or genetic manipulation or transformation.

1.08 "Licensed Product(s)" means an Antibody with respect to which GNE has either significant marketing rights or has done significant development (e.g., created, humanized or conducted preclinical or clinical development), the manufacture, import, use, offer to sell or sale of which would infringe, if not licensed under this Agreement, a Valid Claim.

1.09 "Net Sales" means the aggregate gross revenues, whether in cash or in kind, derived by or payable from or on account of the sale or other transfer of Finished Products by GNE, Affiliates of GNE, GNE's sublicensees, Roche or Affiliates of GNE's sublicensees to an independent third party not an Affiliate of GNE, a sublicensee of GNE, Roche, or an Affiliate of a sublicensee of GNE, less [ ] to cover the following: (a) credits or allowances, if any, actually granted on account of price adjustments, recalls, rejection or return of items previously sold, (b) excise and sales taxes, duties or other taxes imposed on and paid with respect to such sales (excluding income or franchise taxes of any kind) and (c) outer packing, freight and freight insurance costs.

Net Sales shall not include Finished Products provided for bona fide clinical trial, evaluation, research or development purposes.

Net Sales for Bulk Products shall be calculated by multiplying the units of Finished Product to which such Bulk Product is reasonably anticipated to be converted by the established market price of the Finished Product on the date of sale of the Bulk Product. By way of example and without limitation, units of Finished Product may be measured in grams or doses, as appropriate.

The method of calculating Net Sales of materials in form other than Finished Product or Bulk Product that can be converted into Finished Product shall be established by good faith discussion between PDL and GNE prior to the first sale or transfer of any such material by GNE to a non-Affiliate.

1.10 "Opposition Proceedings" means the legal proceedings at the European Patent Office ("EPO") initiated against EP patent 451,216B1 and terminating at the decision (oral and/or written) rendered by the Opposition Division ("OD") of the EPO, but excluding any proceedings resulting from the filing of an appeal to the OD's decision.

PROTEIN DESIGN LABS AND GENENTECH ANNOUNCE AGREEMENT FOR ANTIBODY PATENTS

Fremont, CA and South San Francisco, CA [September 28, 1998] Protein Design Labs, Inc. (PDL) (Nasdaq: PDLI) and Genentech, Inc. (NYSE: GNE) today announced an innovative agreement to cross-license rights to certain intellectual property in the field of monoclonal antibodies. Under the agreement, Genentech will pay a $6.0 million upfront, non-creditable, non-refundable fee to PDL, and PDL will pay Genentech a $1.0 million upfront, non-creditable, non-refundable fee, for rights to license particular antibodies under specified patents and patent applications held by the other company.

"This unique agreement between two leading biotechnology companies demonstrates that intellectual property rights can be used in a positive manner in the competitive pharmaceutical environment," said Arthur D. Levinson, Ph.D., Genentech President and Chief Executive Officer, and Laurence Jay Korn, Ph.D, PDL Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson, in a joint statement. "Rather than create new obstacles, our agreement addresses potential proprietary rights issues and allows each company to pursue development of new products to meet important medical needs."

PDL has U.S. and European patents and patent applications which it believes cover most humanized antibodies and has granted licenses under its patents to numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Genentech has patents and patent applications in the U.S. and elsewhere which it believes cover the expression of recombinant antibodies and certain chimeric and humanized antibodies, and also has issued licenses under these patents and patent applications to numerous other companies.

Under the agreement, Genentech and PDL each may obtain nonexclusive licenses under the other company's relevant patents or applications upon payment of a license fee of at least $1.0 million per antibody. Licensed antibodies will bear royalties on sales, if any. Initially, each company may select up to six antibodies. The number of licensed antibodies and the term of the agreement may be increased for additional fees.

Genentech has several monoclonal antibodies in its development portfolio. Herceptin[R] (trastuzumab), Genentech's humanized anti-HER2 antibody for the treatment of breast cancer, was recently recommended for approval by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory committee. Other humanized antibodies in clinical development at Genentech include anti-IgE for allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis (Phase III), anti- VEGF for cancer (Phase II), anti-CD18 for acute myocardial infarction (Phase II), and anti-CD11a for psoriasis (Phase II).

PDL antibodies in clinical development include SMARTT (humanized) Anti- CD3 for transplantation and autoimmune disease (Phase I), OstavirT for chronic hepatitis B (Phase IIa) and SMART M195 for myeloid leukemias (Phase II/III). Zenapax[R] (daclizumab), a humanized antibody created by PDL, is currently marketed in the U.S. and several other countries by PDL corporate partner Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. and affiliates (Roche) for the prophylaxis of acute organ rejection in patients receiving renal transplants. PDL receives royalties on Zenapax sales. Independently from this agreement, Roche has obtained a royalty-free license from Genentech under certain patents for Zenapax.

Genentech, Inc. is a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant unmet medical needs. Eleven of the currently marketed biotechnology products stem from Genentech science, six of which Genentech markets directly in the U.S.

Protein Design Labs, Inc. is a leader in the development of humanized and human antibodies to prevent or treat various disease conditions. PDL currently has antibodies under development in the areas of transplantation, autoimmunity and inflammatory conditions, cancer and infectious disease. PDL also has a program to develop novel antimicrobial agents based on the identification of microbial genes expressed when microbes infect a host.

Protein Design Labs, SMART, Ostavir and the PDL logo are registered U.S. trademarks of Protein Design Labs, Inc. Herceptin is a registered U.S. trademark of Genentech, Inc. Zenapax is a registered U.S. trademark of Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.
